Scope and content : Moerman refers to the US linguist Fillmore's work (1971), in which he argues for the importance of acknowledging the original wording of documents, and states that some words require interpretation or a knowledge of the original meaning. Moerman argues that it is necessary to determine the rules derived from these sources, in order that they might be used properly in the judicial process.
